Simple Things

She was standin' on a flatbed

Wavin' at the lawn chairs

Fourth of July parade

There were tootsie rolls flyin'

Old vets cryin'

Everybody had a flag to wave

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Back to the simple things

Well it's been such a long time

Gonna dig around and try to find that lonely fishin' pole

Yeah, I ain't gotta catch a thing

Just drift off on a shady bank

And listen to the river roll

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Back to the simple, back to the simple things

Back to there ain't no rush

Back to the nothin' much

Back to the back and forth front porch swing

Back to the backyard

Back to a million stars

Back when it used to be

Simple things

Sometimes I wanna take this phone

Find a bridge to slow down on

And give that thing a whirl

Yeah, take a dirt road, take your hand

For a while just be the man

Who's all about you girl

Hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Back when it used to be

Girl, just you and me

Back to the simple things
